You got a new job? Congrats, man If you're sure I won't be bugging you or anything. Or making your boss mad People around here are so wild, they might like turn into a werewolf or something
oh you know just owner and operator of trench's very first pizzeria so i'm pretty sure i won't get mad and if i do i at least won't turn into anything weird
( He remembers Mike talking about trying to Make Pizza A Thing before, but this is still This is maybe the most excited Peter's been since he washed up here all slimy and gross. God how he's missed real food. )
That's awesome!! ( Two exclamation points. Peter's... alive.)
Where'd you open it at? I'll be your best customer
it took me like six months to learn how to make everything from scratch but i think it's ok and i can't deliver on my bike anymore but will said his horse can do it
( Mike's truly modernising Trench, here.... Unfortunately, Peter's not creative enough to even try to piece together what that could feasibly stand for, despite the fact he knows that Willful Machine is where the blacksmith shops actually are. )
his demon horse? oh shit... that'll make an impression for sure
( Could there even be a better mental image than Marshmallow appearing outside of people's houses accompanied by a crack of dramatic lightning and the smell of cheesy goodness...? )
Man, I'm so hype for this.... I'm tired of eating like raw potatoes and broth
( It makes Peter feel stupidly happy β in that warm little way that reminds him underneath all the squids and demons, he's still maybe something that counts as human β to hear that Mike and Luna have made contact. They're both... important to him. There's something particularly special about when two people who are important to you make contact. )
Oh man yeah she's really cool, and super sweet Yeah she's from like... this magical world where witches and wizards have this special school they go to?
I'm just from Utah
( How underwhelming... )
I'm glad you met her. If you ever need any help or get sick or anything, she can make all kinds of potions
( And with that, he's brought back to a thought, one he wishes could be expressed more delicately than text can allowβ )
How's your leg doing? I know you said you can't ride a bike anymore but Are you still in pain from it?
[Mike has definitely heard about the school and he is incredibly jealous that he wasn't born into that world, thank you very much. It's a daily struggle.]
i mean it's not as bad as it was over the summer but they don't have tylenol here so that sucks
it's sort of why i wanted to ask about the weed i heard while back that it helps sometimes
Perhaps this is an answer in itself as to whether he's already high or not. But then again, Peter's brain is just perpetually kind of frazzled anyway?? )
look their son is running a pizza place now they'd probably overlook the stoner thing and just be like hell yeah, Mike's a business tycoon Couldn't be prouder
i mean you're probably right not like they ever noticed the details before "oh shit son your eyes are red, must be allergy season, did you forget to take your pills because you're a dumbass?"

[Poor Peter. Creativity has always been Mike's thing.]
why are you eating raw potatoes

I tried to boil them a couple times but it just takes so fucking long
But they're not too bad raw
Just kind of like eating a soft rock

putting them in the oven
or whatever people call it here
the hot fire thing

But I usually don't have to do much there anyway bc my girlfriend's a witch so she can usually cook with magic and stuff
